Referred to Head and Neck Surgeon, Why? What's It Got to Do with Ears?

[ozm8ey]

A while back I went to the Doctor about my tinnitus and he gave me waxsol i went back again because it wasn't working but this time he refereed me to a hospital. Few months went by and today I got a letter from the Hospital saying: You have been referred to the private Head and Neck surg. Whats my ears got to do with surgery and head and neck? Doesn't make any sense and its from a different hospital then the one I was referred to.

Hi ozm8ey,
Think tinnitus can be caused from head and neck problems amongst other things.
Most hospitals do a routine MRI so may be that is what's happening.
Don't worry .....lots of love glynis

Head & neck = Ear, nose and throat.

Hope you get someone smart. Very few of us ever do.
